Desserts For Fall: The Final Installment - 'Acorn' Donut Holes & 'Corn on the Cob' Cookies

Well, to wrap up our series 'Desserts for Fall', I've decided to go ahead and send you off with not one but two fun & delightful dessert ideas to really make your loved ones thankful next week. Nothing turns the 'ho-hum' holiday between Halloween and Christmas (or whatever big day you celebrate around the end of the year) like a plate of creatively clever desserts!

First off, check out these fantastic 'Acorn Donut Holes' from Gracious Rain. The perfect little biteful for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner snack or just something to have in the kitchen for the days leading up to big feast. And if you happen to have a donut hole maker, than you are halfway there already. Take a peek.

1) Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2) Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl.
3) Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
4) Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5) Chill the dough for several hours or overnight.
6) Divide the dough into 3 parts.
7) Roll the dough out on a floured surface.
8) Using a knife cut out corncob shapes about 4 inches long.
9) Place the cookies on ungreased baking sheets and bake for 9 minutes.
10) Let the cookies cool then transfer them to a wired rack.
11) Frost the cookies with the vanilla frosting.
12) Use scissors to husk from the green stretch candy and press the husks in place.
13) Fill in the middle with candy kernels.

Loving those two simple recipes, sure to bring smiles to everyone at your Thanksgiving table! Well, that does it for our 'Desserts for Fall' series. I can't believe we are almost onto winter already; my how time flies!! Have a fun weekend, everyone!

About Juneberry Lane

Thank you for taking a walk down Juneberry Lane with me! We have everything you need to throw a fabulous party; from inspiration, to invitations, to recipes, to decorations!
I currently live in Los Angeles, CA with my husband, Mike, our 3 year old boy, Sullivan, our little one year old girl, Cecily, and our dog, Moses. I began working with Love, Luck, and Angels, a Los Angeles based event design and coordination company in 2008. While there, I had the opportunity to help plan the weddings & bridal/baby showers of celebrities such as Kate Walsh and Isla Fisher, among many others.
After having our lovely little baby boy, Sully, in June of 2010, I needed a place to put my event design skills to work, all while staying home and caring for my little sweetie. And hence, Juneberry Lane was born!! I hope you will stop by whenever you need a little inspiration to plan your next fabulous affair!
